The prior thread is here:

That reminds me - word of the day - (and thanQ for the new thread!)

disingenuous

dis·in·gen·u·ous (dĭs′ĭn-jĕn′yo͞o-əs)

Adjective
1. Not straightforward or candid; insincere or calculating.
2. Pretending to be unaware or unsophisticated; faux-naïf.
3. Usage Problem Unaware or uninformed; naive.

Disingenuous means "not ingenuous," that is, not innocent, naive, or guileless. As such it can refer to someone who is calculating and pretending to be unaware, as in the OIG report that revealed that super-brilliant former FBI Director James Comey was being disingenuous when he claimed he was unaware that Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin were married when he found out about the Hillary Clinton emails on Huma Abedin's laptop.

Some comments on the last thread were disingenuous too. :)
